History
Filmix’s journey began year 2003. Based in General Santos City (Gensan), back then large industrial companies in the area were fewer, especially those that mix their own concrete for construction. We haven’t decided on an official name yet but were already engaging in small projects.
Our main product was mixing concrete — we’ll get to that later. Fast forward to 2004 we decided to formally dive in on the enterprise — Quikmix Concrete Inc. was born. JY Enterprises Inc, our parent company had our full support. We took up the challenge to serve a larger market and aimed to be the top producer and seller in Mindanao.
Then came 2012, we renamed our company to who we are now — Filmix Concrete Industries Incorporated. We managed to acquire a company of the same business as ours in Davao City — Solidmix Concrete Corporation. Then another branch was put up in Butuan City, thus, adding a huge advantage to our expansion over Mindanao. A few years after that we established branches in Digos City and Cagayan de Oro City(CDO).
Ready-mix concrete
So what is ready-mix concrete or rmc? Ideally during construction, the builders or construction workers would need to mix cement, gravel, and other aggregates with water in order to create concrete. But that process would add up to the delay of the project, not to mention factors like weather and human error which can further impede progress.
So to eliminate this portion of the building process, contractors employ the service of concrete mixing companies. That is where ready-mix concrete comes into the picture.
Basically, it’s the mixture of cement and other materials to form concrete that’s already mixed so builders or construction workers just need to pour on their structures.
And that is what Filmix is known for. They are one of the companies serving top quality ready-mix concrete in Mindanao, Philippines.
RMC is manufactured from “batching plants” or “batch plants” but you can’t just make them without following the international standards — more specifically the ASTM International Standards. The American Society for Testing and Materials is an international organization based in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania that sets the standard for production materials and services.
Why use RMC instead?
Because of the convenience brought by using ready-mix concrete to the building process, construction is accelerated. That’s why rmc is the go-to option for larger construction projects like towering infrastructures and roadworks. It can be poured directly or via concrete pumping (pumpcrete) depending on the elevation and site of the structure.
Compared to the hassle of on-site mixing, rmc creates a better quality and working timetable for construction, saving time, equipment, and waste altogether.
Where to buy ready-mix concrete?
So where can you buy the product? RMC is mostly sold by companies that mix them. Within Mindanao, Filmix has branches in Gensan, Digos, Davao, and Butuan. They also have batching plants in Cagayan de Oro (CDO) and Marbel. Holcim, a large cement and aggregates company, may not sell rmc directly but provides the raw materials needed for manufacture of it. Filmix uses Holcim cement during production of ready-mix concrete. The company may be contacted through their website or social media pages and also by just searching “ready mix concrete supplier filmix” the contact numbers will be readily displayed on Google.
